So this new place we have gotten has been a huge big headache. The roof leaked before and the landlord did fix it 36 hours after calling however he acted like we were causing him more of a heartache and trouble.
We have already had (in the six months since moving in)
very LITTLE heat the first 18 days in the place (that was in Dec/Jan.)
Kitchen sink clogged with 6 months of grease (that was the first 2 months of us being there.)
We open dinning room window to get some fresh air and the window falls in breaking. (Same thing happened to second floor neighbors to one of their windows same day same time.)
My wife woke up to water splashing on her face. Also yesterday she tired to open another window that we hadn't opened before and it nearly fell in on her.
She is pissed and I'm pissed. We want to put an A/C window unit in but she doesn't want to be blamed for a broken window or damage.

(2,667 posts)From what you have encountered so far you may reasonably assume that the building, which you indicate is relatively new, was clearly not built to standards (building code violations seem likely if windows are falling out) and if they didn't get the carpentry right there is no reason to think that it was either wired or plumbed properly either. Wiring done wrong can kill you and improper plumbing can make you awfully sick; improper carpentry can get you crushed. Move out, demand any security deposit you have made be returned.
